The years when I was an old man

The birthday party is about to begin.

There are more and more guests in the front yard.

From the beginning to the end, I never saw the Zou family come to the front yard again.

Taking advantage of the crowd, I quietly walked out.

Find a staff member, pretend to chat a few words.

After asking about the location of the Buddhist hall, I walked in the direction of the Buddhist hall.

According to my opinion, the Buddhist hall should be just a certain house.

But when I walked to the back mountain, I found out.

The so-called Buddhist hall is actually a solemn and solemn temple.

Yellow walls and brown tiles are simple and solemn.

On both sides of the tall mountain gate, there is also a pair of couplets dancing with dragons and phoenixes.

The first couplet: good retribution and evil retribution are retribution in a cycle of retribution, why not report it in the morning and evening.

The second line: Famous and profitable markets are nothing more than theaters, on and off are all on the spot.

This temple was built by the Zou family.

This couplet should also be the evolution of Mr. Zou's mood.

It seems that this legendary Mr. Zou is also afraid of karma.

The small door next to the mountain gate was open, and I walked in directly.

In the empty courtyard, except for the smoky incense on the incense burner.There was no one around.

Just not far.

Suddenly, a woman's voice came from behind.

"Who are you looking for?"

Looking back, I saw a woman standing at the door of the side room.

The woman is about 30 years old.

He is tall, no less than 1.7 meters by visual inspection.

She was wearing an elegant gold silk light red cotton cheongsam.

A white mink shawl was draped over her shoulders.

Plump and good-looking.

The gestures she wears, and her clothes.

Looking at it, there is an indescribable nobility.

I looked at the woman, and she looked at me.

Before I could speak, she added another sentence:

"Are you Mr. Chu Liu Chu?"

This woman's voice is quite nice.

Just opening my mouth surprised me.

How did she know me?

"you are?"

I asked a question.

The woman just smiled lightly and didn't answer my question.

"Did you come here for something?"

she asked again.

"Is fourth uncle here?"

I'm telling the truth.

The woman gave me a strange look.

But she still shook her head.

"He went down the mountain to see off the guests, just left!"

just left?

I was disappointed.

How could it take so much trouble to find someone?

"Also, you want to find someone here. If you search like this, you will definitely not be able to find it..."

The woman added.

I was just about to ask her what she meant.

Suddenly, in a large hall next to it.

A monk in his 40s wearing monk clothes.

Holding a book in hand, he came out.

As soon as he got to the woman, he handed over the scriptures and said:

"Mr. Zou wants to invite this scripture. You can send it over..."

The woman took the scriptures.

He said thanks, turned and left.

He just didn't take a few steps, and looked back at me again.

I'm a little surprised, who is this woman?

What is her role in the Zou family?

While I was looking at her, I noticed the monk next to her.

Ye Zheng stared straight at the woman's glamorous back.

Unlike me, this monk watched at the same time.

It seemed as if he secretly swallowed his saliva.

The monk didn't turn his head until the woman's back disappeared.

He glanced at me casually, ignored me, and turned back to the main hall.

Unable to find Fourth Uncle, I had no choice but to go back to the front yard. 7K

As soon as he entered the courtyard, Su Mei walked over.

looked at me and said in a low voice:

"Where have you been? Xiaoxian just sent me a message, saying that the family will start soon. Let the two of us go there..."

I nodded.

Follow Su Mei and walk towards the main courtyard.

Different from the front yard, the courtyard of the main courtyard is wider.

The scenery in the yard is also unique.

Taishan stone, Huangshan pine.

Patchwork, dotted everywhere.

He and Su Mei entered a parliamentary room.

As soon as you enter the door, you will see a pair of mahogany chairs at your fingertips.

On both sides of the room, there is a row of tables and chairs.

And Zou Xiaoxian sat near the door.

Seeing the two of us coming in, Zou Xiaoxian waved to us and signaled us to go over.

Sit on the chair behind Zou Xiaoxian.

I looked at the people around me.

Except for the second boss, I don't know anyone else here.

Su Mei and I introduced in a low voice:

"Did you see that couple on the opposite side? They are the big boss and the sister-in-law of the Zou family..."

I turned my head and took a look.

The big boss, Zou Tiansheng, is in his 30s, of medium height, white and fat.

He seems to have a natural smile, and he is a bit fat.

Sitting there, it feels a bit like Maitreya with a big belly.

The sister-in-law next to him is about the same age as him.

The appearance is ordinary, but the makeup is exquisite.

It also made up for some of the shortcomings in appearance.

It's just that the sister-in-law looked indifferent and didn't look sideways.

Looking at it gives people a sense of aloofness and inaccessibility.

Beside her was the Aunt Bai who had been brought from her mother's house.

Su Mei introduced others to me in a low voice.

These people are all close relatives of the Zou family.

In the Zou family, they are also responsible for some business affairs.

These people were all chatting and laughing.

was talking.

Suddenly, there was a sound of high heels at the door.

Then someone said:

"Aunt Qing is here..."

Everyone in the Zou family, except the three brothers and sisters.

The others stood up immediately and looked in the direction of the door respectfully.

Turn to look at the door.

I saw a woman in her thirties walking in with enchanting steps.

The moment I saw her, I couldn't help being slightly taken aback.

This Aunt Qing is the woman I just met in the Buddhist hall.

"who is she?"

I asked Su Mei softly.

Su Mei lowered her head and said in a low voice:

"Aunt Qing, Mr. Zou's current wife. However, the brothers and sisters of the Zou family don't seem to agree with her..."

I couldn't help laughing in my heart.

Mr. Zou practiced meditation and practiced Buddhism at every turn.

But at such an old age, the little wife is so beautiful.

Could it be that he practiced happiness meditation?

After Aunt Qing entered the door, she smiled at everyone.

Then, sit on the top seat.

Looking at the vacant seat next to her.

Come to think of it, that should be where Mr. Zou is.

The room fell silent.

At the door, there was another voice.

"Uncle Zhong has arrived!"

This time, it was different from when Aunt Qing entered the door just now.

All the people, including the three brothers and sisters of the Zou family, stood up unexpectedly.

One by one, they looked towards the door respectfully.

Uncle Zhong walked in slowly with his back on his back.

At the same glance as before, he was expressionless and didn't look at anyone.

Go straight to the front position.

It's just that he didn't sit down, but stood beside the empty chair.

Aunt Qing turned her head to look at Uncle Zhong, and said softly:

"Uncle Zhong, shall we start now?"

Only then did Uncle Zhong sweep his gaze across the entire venue.

Then, he said in a deep voice:

"The old man just had a drink and needs to rest for a while. He won't participate in this family meeting..."

Not participating?

I listened, feeling a little disappointed in my heart.
